BivianneI took a deep breath before starting to answer. Today is our midterm examinations. I need to do well. Now I have to show mom that I will once again get the first spot in our entire batch. All those sleepless nights will finally pay off.In the middle of answering, I felt something dripped out of my nose. When I wiped it, I saw that my nose was bleeding. I quickly grabbed a napkin inside my bag. Our teacher noticed that so he immediately looked up at me. But I didn't listen to her. I need to finish the test on time. I only have a few minutes left."It's okay, Bivianne," said ma'am Teresa. "I will give you time later to finish the test. Stop your nose bleeding first."I followed him. It didn't take long and it stopped, so I continued. Even though I was dizzy, I still didn't take my eyes off my paper. I just closed my eyes slowly when I finished the last equation. My head throbbed more.“Time's up! Pass your papers forward.”Two more to go and we're done for this day. We had an

BivianneThe smile on my lips immediately disappeared when I saw mom in the living room. He was drinking wine while reading something on his tablet. Probably about work. He never runs out of work."Where have you been?" he asked without even looking up from the tablet.I approached him while bowing. "My friend's house.""Yeshua's?" Right. She knows I'm friends with Yeshua. He is my only friend. Not until I met her cousins, though."Yeah. With her cousins."His eyebrows arched. Still not taking his eyes off the tablet. "Her cousins?""I met them when we had an activity about a farm. Yeshua's cousin owns a farm. He introduced me and my groupmates.""I remember that. Take a seat." He pointed to the empty sofa in front of him. "So, how was your grade there?"As soon as I sat down, Cassady immediately put a snack in front of me. "We received a perfect grade.""Good. And your midterms, how was it?""I answered everything. I think I'll get a good grade again this time.""You think?" I swallo

Bivianne"Bivianne Cordova," Sir Ohn called my name.I slowly stood up to get my report card. Instead of looking at my grade, I immediately hid it until I got back to my seat.My heart was pounding. I was breathing fast because I was so nervous. I feel like I'm going to throw up everything I ate this morning. I know I answered everything on the day of the exam itself, but it's different now that I have the grades.It's Saturday. We went to school to get our grades. We can take it any time today but my classmates decided to take it in the morning.Oxem's grade will be taken today, that's why we decided to eat lunch outside with his cousins. Yeshua will also be with us today, so I don't think there will be any problem, especially if mom finds out.As expected, Oxem was waiting for me outside the room after us. I quickly came to him and grabbed his arm."Have you been here for a while?" I will ask.“A little.” We started walking to the parking lot where his cousins ​​were waiting.“You s

BivianneOxem and I's relationship became a secret. At least from mom and the people who can tell her. We became careful around our teachers as well, especially since almost all of them are acquaintances of mom.Apart from his cousins, only our classmates know. It's not like they really care about what's happening with our lives. And I know they have no intention of telling mom, unless they know her personally.Anyway, our situation is not that difficult especially since Mang Kiko is our accomplice. He promised me not to tell mom about our relationship. But in exchange for that, we need to go out with Yeshua. Because somehow, he doesn't want to lie to mom. He needs to tell her half the truth.Yeshua agreed to such a set up especially whenever Oxem and I wanted to eat outside. But that's not why we're okay. We haven't talked about what happened yet. Whenever the three of us are together, we only talk to Oxem.I feel bad for Oxem. I know he wants to congratulate us both but he can't do

BivianneMonths went by like a blur. We are back to school again. Yeshua and I had the opportunity to tour our new school for the next four years. And luckily, we're classmates. I have nothing to lose from his hyper-an.But I guess it's also okay. At least, I already knew someone on the first day of class. But it will also mean that my potential rival will be in the same class with me. Not that she cares about that. And when we were young, we were really rivals."Are you going somewhere else?" she asked."No more. Are you hungry? We haven't had lunch yet.""Because I was supposed to go somewhere. If you're hungry, you can have lunch first.""It's okay. Are you long?”He shook his head. "I'm just for a moment. I'll sign up in the futsal team. Do you want it too?”I glared at him. "Here you go again.""What?" He laughed softly. “I'm asking a genuine question. No coercion. I just remembered how much fun you had the last time we played. I just thought I could finally convince you.""Actua
